MANcHESTRR DOCKs.

so expensive have been these improvements
The total quay space Of Liverpool is nearly
twenty miles, covering an area Of 200 acres,
containing fifty-four docks and basins The
Albert dock alone cost el4l 900. The magnifl-
cent structures covering the river front there,
and, as shown by our cut, at Manchester, are
so vastly superior to anything at New York
that it would be supposed new world enter
prise would do something to make the differ
ence less striking. The Manchester docks
are Of solid masonry, and although not 50 ex-
tensive as those Of Liverpool, are wonderfully
complete and massive structures as compared
with the best Of New Yorks quays.

JACKSON STREET Dock. a harbor which, II

could accommodate all the shipping Of the
world
Almost in the shadow Of Brooklyn bridge
are several striking examples Of water front
properties that could be improved and made
magnificent piers. The Jackson street dock
S one Of these-a weaving, rickety combina-
lion Of rotten timbers and plank-with totter-
.ng posts and a thousand patches about it.
Il has long been condemned, but still stands,
though used only by garbage scows. "A
iilapidated wagon stood upon it the other
law saws New York writer, "and the
blanks were strewn With m0ldy rags spread
out 10 dry. A sc0w filed with swcltering
garbage lay near the shore, and some men

zach direction were piers evidently in con
lition little better than that Of the one illus
.rated. On shore were old carts, piles Of scrap
iron, refuse aud barrels, well set of ia the
background by dilapidated buildings, an ex-
,ellent argument for the advocates Of city
control Of the water front"
Illustrative Of these arguments, II is cited
hat the New York Central Railroad com
pany pays rental Of go, 900 annually for city

thought, if the front is filed up 10 the bull

No docks in the world are 10 be compared
with those Of London, Liverpool, Birken-
head and Manchester, England, which cover
hundreds Of acres. Liverpool has twenty
craving docks, some Of them 100 feet in
length These are surrounded with substan-
tial stone quays. provided with gates, and are
under police protection. These, as with
nearly all other docks in England, are sup
ported by rates levied from the vessels resort
ing 10 them, and for leyying these rates
powers are taken in the acts Of par
Lament authorizing the construction OF
the respective docks. Sometimes the dock
dues are imposed on vessels according 70

Generally the dues are complained Of as being
a heavy burden, though it is said the stock

NIetrnnnlitan Civilization.

DR.. H. Pereira Mendes, one Of the best

great truth tersely and well when be says:
Humanity is not religionized If women need

city is not civilized 50 long as women without
an escort must 20 hungry In IT, streets Of a

Reviewing the outlook for business the
Herald says Bank exchanges through
out the country show a handsome in
crease over the corresponding period Of
last year, and the heaviest gains are at
non-speculatiye points. The iron trade
IS satisfactory, although the production
for the frs half Of the year was half a
million tons in excess of the same months
Of 1886 The leather industry-which,
perhaps, ranks next to iron as an index
of the condition Of general trade-is quiet
but a good fall trade is expected. In
short, reports from all parts of the coun-
try and from ne .rly all circles are ex-
ceedingly gratifying

New York and English Docks.

The officials Of the city Of New York seem
% b. waking up 10 the necessity OF doing
something about the citys water front,
though no course Of action has as yet been
adopted. The rapidly increasing value OF
wharf property in Brooklyn and Jersey City

,reasei % the amount Of 100000 within
the past ten years, and in Jersey City and

The Riddleberger bill is regarded as a
failure even by the extremists, and they
do not think that the Democratic party is
bound by the pledges made TO carry out
its provisions. An evidence Of this is
found in The following resolution adopted
by tie Democrats of-Chesierfeld county.
These Democrats resolved that the Rid
dleberger settlement having been rejected
by the committee of the foreign bondhold-
ers, after having been the financial policy
of the people for number of years, we
affirm that the people are in no way
bound by said settlement, and we favor
constitutional amendment which Will
determine what the people can, will, and
ought to pay" The Democratic party did
not pledge itself to do an impossibility
and enforce the Riddleberger bill in def
ance of the decisions of the United States
Supreme Court.-DanolAe Register.

get some seeds and grow window

and fall the window of young lady
who teaches in one of the grammar
schools was thing of beauty and
perpetual joy, with its framing tendrilS

the only secret being to give the plants
plenty of water and shade them from
the fiercest July Suns. If one has no
sunny window, still forget-me-nots, lilies
